    Unique bicycle built for two

    Went over to my cousins house and he and his wife are in to bike riding. He also likes to go with his dad that is in his seventies but his dad gets tired while riding so he fixed these two bikes where either one or both can pedal and either one can steer. I thought it was a little different so I thought I would post a picture of it. By the way you can't tip it over, Jeff

    Pretty cool story Grandpaw! Obviously your cousin is a pretty inventive person. But the image of Scott taking that thing on a trail... lol, I bet you could tip it!

    I saw a bunch of these style bikes cruising around the lake shore in Chicago this summer. Many of them had a backseat so you could take the whole family for a cruise. They were renting them out to the tourist.

    That is neat and the reason for its build is too.
    What happens when they steer in different directions?

    There is a bar that makes them steer together so that won't happen. Look just at the bottom of the handle bars and at the top of the front fork tube and you will see the bar that makes them steer together. I forgot to mention that they can also be separated and ridden individually as regular bikes, Jeff
